Data brief
integrate the VL6180X in customer’s
application.
• Basic gesture recognition application can be
developed using the VL6180X sensor on the
expansion board and/or up to three sensors on
the satellite boards.
Features
• 1x VL6180X (proximity, gesture and ambient
light sensing module) expansion board.

Description
The P-NUCLEO-6180X1 is an evaluation pack
that provides an introduction to the proximity,
ranging and light sensing capabilities of the
VL6180X sensor, combined with the powerful
STM32F401RE microcontroller.
The VL6180X is the latest product based on ST’s
patented FlightSense^TM technology. This is a
ground-breaking technology allowing absolute
distance to be measured independent of target
reflectance. Instead of estimating the distance by
measuring the amount of light reflected back from
the object (which is significantly influenced by
color and surface), the VL6180X precisely
measures the time the light takes to travel to the
nearest object and reflect back to the sensor
(Time-of-Flight).
The STM32 Nucleo board, NUCLEO-F401RE,
provides an affordable and flexible way for users
to try out new ideas and build prototypes with any
STM32 microcontroller line, choosing from the
various combinations of performance, power
consumption and features.
a. VL6180X detects up to 100KLux but since the display
is 4 digits only, maximum displayed value is limited to
9999 Lux
